Happy are those whose help is
in you,
whose hope is in you, our
God.
You called Abram to walk
before you
and be blameless. He could not
carry out that command--
much less can I.
Still, Jesus promised that if
we ask,
we will receive; and our joy
will be complete.
Help me, then, to ask. Help me to ask for a life
lived in Christ, rooted and
built up in him,
established in faith. And let me abound
in thanksgiving for your grace.
